Turning points

Today is my birthday, the big 3-4.  A lot has happened since my move to France 7 years ago.

1. I got married
2. Gained 30 lbs
3. We have started a business in Environmental consulting (specialized in Biogas)
4. Closed the 1st business and started a 2nd business  in Photovoltaic power plants installations
5. Went through a lot with the solar business : French government cut a lot of encentives in Renewable energies,   especially photovoltaic energy.  Within a year, the business has grown in a rapid pace and then with all the politic choices of Sarkozy (i.e. nuclear lobby), a lot of  photovoltaic businesses went into bankrupcy.

6. We sold our solar business, but still manage it for now.
7. I've lost 10 lbs (lot of exercise)
8. Since yesterday, France has a new President (his airplane get struck by lightning on his way to Berlin, to meet Angela Merkel).
9. I have started my blog on February, and I have reached more than 1000 views.  Thank you! 

All of these experiences made us stronger, a lot of pain for little gain, but it's time to turn the page.  Hopefully a new chapter.  Happy birthday to me.
